I would love to see the Supreme Court actually stand up for the Constitution and strike down this law. It is my opinion that, as of late, they seem to be more pro-government which is very chilling in and of itself.


Why would Supreme Court categorically rule out dragnet snooping by USG, when the worst that can happen is someone later suffers harm, at which point Supreme Court will see another case and develop rules to limit that specific harm?

I certainly agree with you that the world would be a better place if privacy were commonplace. I just think we should be realistic as to what we're up against.


Because it's an unreasonable search, no need for harm.


I'm curious if you can articulate how the Supreme Court has been pro-government as of late.


It's been more pro-general-big-brother than just pro-government. that sentiment includes pro-business. I dont know where this comment was going.
